Prohibited & Dangerous Items

Due to the highly diverse nature of items carried by passengers (some of which could constitute a threat to aviation security) it is at the discretion of the Malta Airport Security Department to confiscate any item that poses a potential threat.

The categories of prohibited articles for hand luggage are as follows:

Stunning Devices

Workmen's tools

Liquids over 100ml

Firearms

Objects with a sharp point or sharp edge

Explosives, Incendiary Substances & Devices

Blunt Instruments

In addition to the items above, the link to the document below includes a non-exhaustive list of articles that are not permitted into security restricted areas and on board an aircraft. The attached document issued by Malta Airport Security is for guidance purposes only. Note the distinction between prohibited items in hand luggage and prohibited items in hold luggage.

Lithium Batteries
